hey guys. im just not to sure on ow you fix the doors to the tent i can understand the single piece of material forming the A but just cant grasp how the fabric attaches to the wooden frame at the door.

anyone with a tent, pictures of this join would be helpful.

I didn't think it did? I thought the doors were only connected at the end of the sides and the sides only touched the frame at the rafter pole and the two floor poles. But it has been a year or so since I helped set one up...

Me to!

Piccies on the internet show the door flaps just hung over the angled support poles.

I agree with Boyd, the doors are attached to the fabric of the tent, not to the actual frame. My a-frame has the doors under the frame as opposed to over the frame (as in the picture in the link) but the general construction looks the same.

So you can have your flaps ontop or underneath your pole then.
